Development of a discrete element model with moving realistic geometry to simulate particle motion in a Mi-Pro granulator

This paper presents the implementation of a methodology incorporating a 3D CAD geometry into a 3D Discrete Element Method (DEM) code; discussing some of the issues which were experienced. The 3D CAD model was discretised into a finite element mesh and the finite wall method was employed for contact...
